Water logging below underpass

Water logging below underpass
For the residents of Sector-6, 7 and 8 waterlogging has become a ceaseless pain. Inderjeet Singh, resident of Sector 6 informs, "There are more than 2000 bungalows in Sectors 6, 7 and 8. Almost all of their occupants have their own vehicles. As the area is near Sion-Panvel highway it is linked with an underpass for the vehicles and residents to cross the road. The residents here mostly go to Mumbai or in and around Navi Mumbai for work on daily basis. Krishna Pandit, a local social worker says, "To the dismay of residents this underpass remains filled with water all through the whole year. During monsoon its condition turns worse and pedestrians as well as two-wheeler drivers virtually get submerged in water".
Anand Malinge, another social worker says, "For years we have been following up the matter with NMMC but in vain. Flood-like situation in the underpass chokes vehicles and sometimes one is not able to reach one's destination if the vehicle breaks down. Pedestrians are forced to take the busy highway and risk their lives".
Residents urge NMMC to install a suction pump to remove rain water on a daily basis during monsoon.
